What if Stoners Ran the World

punishment.)

Slang for somebody who smokes cannabis, sometimes quite often. Most people would talk them down as if they are better, though they often consume poisons such as alcohol and caffeine. Stoners are generally a friendly minority, peaceful, and harmless. The arrogant people bitching about them smoking marijuana, they are usually bigger problems then the people they denounce. what we hope to show are how a little weed, a little philosophy, and a little fun can make the world a better place. Plus girls who smoke weed like to show their boobies (nsfw), and that just has to be a good thing.

The initial subject matter that I would like to broach are the adverse connotations that are associated with the moniker, stoner. (just joking I’m really not going to talk that way).

Really though, why is it that when a non-smoker uses that term to describe someone it has such a bad vibe? The definition of stoner that’s here on the page is correct. However it’s important to note that this word is like just a few others in the English language that’s definition changes depending on who’s saying it, their vocal inflection and the situation. Depending on who calls me a stoner and how they mean it, I may be insulted or made to feel more comfortable. It’s kind of like that “other word”. (you know the one I mean) It can be used as a term of endearment or as a positive descriptor, or the exact opposite.

How do I know if I qualify as a stoner? Exactly how much weed do I have to smoke and how often do I have to smoke it? Is it a state of mind? Can it be quantified? (big word bonus points!)

:Our core philosophy comes down to the simple fact that pot is not a drug unless basil and oregano are drugs.

Lets start with that. Pot is not a drug, no matter what anyone tells you. So if you are looking for someone to say you can do whatever you want, go someplace else, we hate druggies. They are the scum of the earth. A pothead is not a druggie. Cannabis could be cloves, oregano, basil, or any one of a number of herbs. If you are into drugs that have to be manufactured or altered by humans for use, you do not belong here, so all you drug addicts go away from us and our kids.

Pot, weed, cannabis, or whatever you want to call it has been the subject of movies, songs, books, protests, debate, and rebellion. It is recreation, inspiration and medication for some. It is an obsession for others and for us, it is a chance to get together, talk politics, philosophy, and more and see where it goes. Like many of the great musicians of our time, some of our best ideas come when we are baked. This website for one.

I mean really, have you ever heard of a stoner getting in a fight? Stabbing someone? it just doesn’t happen. Stoners want to live and let live. The harms of marijuana are so much less than the harms of alcohol it isn’t even a logical argument that can be made. Marijuana is not a gateway drug. when you are stoned, you don’t want to go get another drug, you just want to sit around and laugh at shit.

We are not going to tell you that there is no negatives to weed. We are aware of some of them. For example, marijuana kills brain cells. So what? I agree that it probably does, but so does drinking beer, sneezing, hitting your head and holding your breath for too long. It seems that everything we do kills brain cells in some way and as soon as we outlaw sneezing we can get to marijuana.

What’s the big deal really? It doesn’t cause violent mood swings, it actually prevents them in most people I know, it is physically impossible to overdose on, it doesn’t eat holes in your liver, and it isn’t addictive like some medications and other drugs.

Even better it has a ton of benefits that none of the other things we think of like alcohol possess. Smoking bud produces anandamide, the chemical that can also with dexterity in spinal injuries. The drug has been reported to help patients with Multiple Sclerosis in controlling their pain. It eleviates nausea in cancer and HIV patients and can help them increase their appetite

Cannabis and religion: Religious people or I should say the ‘religious right" tend to be the ones with the most vitriolic hatred for stoners. The best we can say to them is to quote from Genesis

"God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat.’ … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." (Genesis 1:29-31)

Many scholars now believe that Jesus was a stoner. Early Christian documents found in Eygpt, thought to be a more accurate record than the New Testament, portray Jesus as an ecstatic rebel sage who preached enlightenment through rituals involving magical plants. Wonder what those magical plants could be? Think about it. I personally think that Jesus would look more favorably on Spicoli than the high school jocks.

"The drug is really quite a remarkably safe one for humans, although it is really quite a dangerous one for mice and they should not use it."J.W.D Henderson Director of the Bureau of Human Drugs, Health and Welfare, Canada

"How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured…No one knows, when he places a marijuana cigarette to his lips, whether he will become a joyous reveler in a musical heaven, a mad insensate, a calm philosopher, or a murderer…"HARRY J ANSLINGER Commissioner of the US Bureau of Narcotics 1930-1962

There are things on this site that some people take offense to. Be aware there will be Marijuana related content as well as boobies and f-bombs and other adult material here in stoner philosophy. We don't think that we cross "THE" line but our opinion of where the line is may differ from yours.

If you are easily offended get the fuck out now because we might talk like adults from time to time, or even show a body part without clothing OH NO!
